hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    First Service

    Just had the first 12 month service done on my Phev. It was cheaper than I thought $417.30 NZD. They gave me a 2023 Mg ZSev as a loan car. Differences between the HS phev and the ZSEv I noticed were. My 2023 HS Phev has a lot more room inside and was more comfortable. The ZSev was touchy on the...

    Vibration in throttle pedal

    Hi All - from new, my HS Phev has an annoying vibration in the throttle pedal when the ICE runs. Is this common for this vehicle or does anyone else experience this? (it almost feels like a poor engine mount) Thanks.

    Aircon

    Hi I had a 300 mile drive yesterday in the sunshine and I found the aircon fairly inadequate. I had the system on recirculate and the blower one down from full and the air just was not that cold. Also I take it the front windows on the HS are not tinted as it was like sitting in a greenhouse...

    My sons Toyota Hybrid died with a dead "8volt" battery { 8volt LOL }. I had a feeling EV`s weren`t supposed to deal in Jumpstarts, so we used Grandaughters MG ZS Petrol for Jumping { successfully }. Prompted me to check it out.
